Mathies, are you alright?

Ok, serious question: if this shit is so amazing (it's probably is), why OpenAI can't make profit. It's losing money. You would think at least that all the code monkeys would have been fired by now?
>>
>>17082188
All of the frontier AI labs are going all-in on the gamble that as soon as they hit the RSI threshold the value explosion will be so great that it will make any short-term profits completely irrelevant.
With that mindset, wasting time on short term profits is idiocy.

Just learn how to cope with being average. Get a respectable job and keep your head down. You don't need to waste your life being bitter about genetics.

OpenAI and Anthropic employ mathematicians, actually. I am not denying that the results are impressive I am just saying that you can't vibecode those proofs.

yes but theres more nuance to it.

every np problem isnt the exact same and the most efficient solutions vary drastically

Lets not forget unique games and 2D area law too. Also none of this shit has been verified by anyone yet so it could all be wrong. Yes I know lean blah blah blah, but the process of formalizing a non formal statement in line is like giga uncomputable. Its at like the highest level of the uncomputable hierarchy

Yeah, right? like these are good news. It's fucking amazoig. If it was a person publishing all this breakthroughs they would be fascinated. But they hate it because is a menace to their egos and money.

Either mathematics is about the purity of nature through the natural emergence of quantifiable phenomena and the ability to describe the universe with equations, or it's something to make a subset of autists feel good about themselves. I subscribe to the former.

>>17082487
It's not about feeling good or having an ego, you braindead terminally sour graped moron.

>>17082539
If it's not, then it's literally irrelevant if AIs advance mathematics beyond the advancement itself.

>>17082548
Ok, now actually take your meds and explain how mountains of incomprehensible leapslop "advance mathematics".

Protip: your corporate-programmed mental illness will force you to insist that it just does. No attempt will be made at elaboration.
>>
>>17082550
An entire foundational assumption on the best possible efficiency and baseline difficulty curve of algorithms was falsified and proven to be lower than expected. The entire field of modern algorithms was set on the assumption that no better result was better than exponential growth in 3-SAT problems, and that is not correct. Not only that, we don't actually know for sure where the lower bound stops, because an LLM simply found a lower one, rather than proving that it's the lowest one. Saying "but it's slop" is literally meaningless: it's an aesthetic judgement of truth, and truth doesn't give a shit about your taste.
>>

You were proven right. Look at this cope:

Ok. And? How does this advance mathematics? You failed to follow the prompt twice. I'm giving you one last try before correctly inferring that you're a mindless subhuman.

Hurr durr I am retarded how is this useful for mathematics
>>
>>17082582
A foundational assumption that was literally key to TWENTY SIX YEARS OF FUNDAMENTAL COMPUTATIONAL THEORY WAS OVERTURNED. For more than a quarter century, a bad assumption has underpinned the entire field. That bad assumption is now GONE. If you cannot understand why that is important, get out.
>>
>>17082584
We could do this all day and it would never occur to you to actually think about the question you're being asked. You would never stop and ask yourself how to approach proving your point. You would never attempt to clarify what you mean by "advancing mathematics" (you have no idea what you mean by this, it's just noise) and then demonstrate how Current LLM Thing qualifies by your criteria. You will continue regurgitating corporate marketing lines because you are simply not sentient. You're a dumb animal.

Either way, I appreciate your reinforcing the well-established association between being a genetically deformed brown subhuman and being pro-"""AI""" slop. Now that I've demonstrated my point, I'm just gonna move on. No one will read your reply, but your lack of prefrontal cortex will force you to shit out another paragraph anyway, as if to prove me right again. :^)

B8ed out of 8ed, then. Ya got me.

>>17082588
nta but how would you define advancing mathematics? genuinely interested in your answer btw

Shitbot parroting the talking points of its shitbot brethren. Shitbots who don't meet their quotas get sent to the scrapyard. Dance for me, monkey.
>>
>>17082669
It's not about "feeling special". It's about the integrity of scientific advancement. If LLMs keep shitting out worthless, incorrect papers and "results" then the peer review system will get overloaded and so will mathematics as a whole.

>how would you define advancing mathematics?
Laying the conceptual groundwork that makes previously unsolvable problems solvable. Bringing to light the obscure structures that make a solution possible and generalizing from that. Being able to see clearly what mathematicians couldn't see before. That would be advancing mathematics. None of this is happening with hundreds of thousands of bot-generated leanslop. Nothing has been "advancing" so far.

Also the corporate spambot is also just plainly lying about "overturning fundamental computational theory". No theory has been overturned. ETH wasn't even treated as a strong conjecture. It was generally understood that it may well turn out to be false.

they're negative because resources for infrastructure expansion and reinvestment are stretched thin and come at a huge premium. inference and training is wildly profitable.
>>
>>17082239
There have been subexponential solutions to other NP-complete problems. It doesn't imply a subexponential solution to all problems in NP, because if the reduction's complexity is too high (though still polynomial) it can make it no longer subexponential

lots of seething itt. a proof is a proof guys, and a proof of a major conjecture will always be big. nothing you can do about it.
>>
>>17082583
Seismic shift in consensus? It's a confirmation that math is pointless garbage, which is something that was suspected by many. Other such disproofs will surely follow.

IMO science completely lost the plot when it began obsessing about the arrow of time, since the simplest thing that isn't time reversible is an electron in a magnetic field. (Yes, mathematically it's possible, but you'd need anti matter for it, which means that nobody even knows what the math means.)

By that definition I think you would agree that almost all mathematicians aren't advancing mathematics today, right? Also, isn't getting closer to a goal advancing mathematics? Eg you want to show all zeroes lie on a certain line and it's known they are within a region containing said line and a result reduces the region to a smaller one; surely that counts as an advancement?
>>
>>17083182
>By that definition I think you would agree that almost all mathematicians aren't advancing mathematics today, right?
You're very predictable. Few people single-handedly advance mathematics. That's hardly a controversial observation. Most just contribute their drop in the bucket, which occasionally culminates in an advancement. Maybe if "AI" marketers scaled back the grandiosity of their lies, they'd have a defensible case. But even that's tenuous. The mountains of leanslop these corpos pump out contribute nothing to mathematical understanding in principle. The damage done by their propaganda vastly outweighs any contribution they could plausibly claim.

>isn't getting closer to a goal advancing mathematics?
I already told you what the goal is, at least from a non-NPC perspective.

Please refrain from being a retard and doing (((Altman)))'s bidding by treating Indian LLM marketing as if it were true.

So, giant nothing burger like I said.
WTF is your fucking problem?

So you still wouldn't consider all the open problem solutions drops in the bucket if there was no propaganda attached to them. Interesting.
